Christopher Seavor, project lead on Conker's Bad Fur Day and its remake Live & Reloaded, tweeted earlier today about the need to acquire Wii U development kits for his studio, Gory Detail.

Along with being project leader and game designer on Conker, Seavor also voiced the vulgar squirrel, and wrote the script for the game. Seavor left Rare in order to start his own development studio, Gory Detail. The developer has released one mobile game with Parashoot Stan, and Seavor's Twitter account seems to imply that it is working on another.

All Seavor said on Twitter was, "WiiU devkits ain't cheap and it's lookin likely [Gory Detail] is gonna need 3 at some point this year."

Actually I could see parashoot stan working with a dual stick gamepad. But a port on that game wouldnt require three devkits. So it's bigger than that.

Sounds like Microsoft are making another Conker then. Will be at e3?

[DéliopT]

Always nice to hear. Can`t really tell if it`s a Indie game or a retail game.

[Julio93]

Oh yeah I heard about that, I thought it was fake. Hope they reveal it at E3.

[BanjoKazooie]

Nice, I loved parashootstan! I hope whatever they are making is big!

Nobody said it was a ms game, nor did he day it would be Conker. He only said that his studio, which is a little, not affiliated with ms, indy studio, needs 3 WiiU devkits.

As more well known publishers/developers jump off Wii U new less well known ones jump on and that really isn't a bad thing, less well known publishers/

developers have good ideas and a big chunk of next gen will be indie as budgets rise and stuff. A lot of the well known publishers/developers have got way too big for thier shoes and will come crashing down if something doesn't change. But I suppose it's a vicious cycle maybe when all these small publishers/developers get too big for thier shoes in about 5 - 10 years time they will crash and it will start again.

[Lupaie]

Yeah it seams to go that way

I was never really fond of Conker, but this would definitly be a welcome addition to the WiiU library

I innocently mention we're likely expanding operations to include WiiU and next thing I know we're kick starting a new Conker game...."

Conker has nothing to do with him, he's just the creator and voice.

Why would anyone assume he had anything to do with a third game?

Because he, as written in the article, has left Rare and Microsoft. So it makes sense that he doesn't own the rights to use that IP.

That is him making fun of it, because many peoplw assumed it would be Conker, which is unlogical, thus resulting with Seaver making fun of it

People assumed because they just had no idea. Maybe they think that by being a creator, you get to create a new game.

I know, it`s just that people assume too much sometimes!
